The Ranchi-born lad didn’t have the traditional technique of a wicketkeeper, but with his unorthodox approach, he has achieved great heights at the international level.

Dhoni decided to hang his boots from the five-day format but he is still going strong in the limited-overs formats, and even after leaving the captaincy he is nurturing Virat Kohli as a leader.

Be it his batting or wicket-keeping; the untraditional Mahi-way is what keeps the crowd cheering for their talismanic player.

MS Dhoni has won everything in his career what the ICC has to offer; he is the only India captain who have won the 50-over as well as 20-over cricket world cup and a Champions Trophy to go with these.
